I’ve had to let go of a lot in my life. Whether it was hurtful words or an absentee father, letting forgiveness take over was only possible after I rid my mind and soul of the anger and pain. Peace is an ideal that millions have fought and died for through time. Letting go is not losing, but it’s rising above.

#‎LetItGo‬ day all stemmed from Ann Aguirre’s title, I WANT IT THAT WAY. One of the characters finds freedom when he lets something go that he had been holding on to. In the book, you see him physically do something to represent the act of letting it go and then finding peace. While reading, the wheels started turning! We all need to have a day to let things go.

We’ve all had those moments when things play over and over in our head, when we hear the whispers of being told we’re not good enough, when we find ourselves paralyzed by something. Some of us are affected by this in ways we think others could not possibly understand. So…#LetItGo day was formed.

In the midst of ugly and dark things happening all around, we want to focus on freedom and finding peace. And September 3rd, 2014 is that day. Tell about a time you had to #LetItGo, take pics of you doing a #LetItGo ceremony, and leave all of it in the comments below.

This world has a lot of heartache. And we don’t have to hold on to things. We want freedom and peace to reign! So join in on September 3rd and #LetItGo!
